Smiling, Carly opens the door and finds Jack on the other side. She grouchily asks Jack what he wants. Jack replies that he's not done with their previous conversation from last night. Carly quickly sends Sage upstairs to deliver one of Hallie's toys. Once she's out of earshot, Carly matter-of-factly reminds Jack this is her house. Who stays---who goes---is her decision. Jack stares at her for a moment, then asks if she wants him to leave.

Katie stirs and immediately recollects last night's events. Brad comforts her while Lyla answers a call from Margo. After she hangs up, she informs Katie and Brad that Michael has been found and brought into the station. Brad reminds his new wife that Doris was originally presumed dead, but they were able to find a faint pulse and she's now hanging by a thread at Memorial.

As the officer brings Michael into the station, he meets a solemn gaze from Margo. She immediately asks her late stepfather's brother where he was last night. Michael's stunned at how low and mellow Margo's voice is and can tell something is wrong. Fiddling with his handcuffs, he asks Margo to explain why they brought him in. Margo shakes her head, begging Michael not to play games. "You know damn well why you're here", she barks. "Michael Peretti, you're under arrest for the attempted murder of Doris Finkle Peretti".

Sage passes Gwen in the hallway, shoving the toy at her before running into her room and throwing herself on her bed. When Gwen asks her what's wrong, Sage tells her she was sent upstairs so her parents could fight. They do it all the time. Gwen tries to reassure her that her parents just need to discuss things privately. Sage doesn't buy it, and blames Carly for ruining Jack's good mood.

Not getting an answer, Jack curtly heads for the door. Carly pales, but remains silent. His hand reaches for the doorknob before he marches back, standing toe-to-toe with Carly. Be angry with him, he tells his ex. But stop putting herself in bad situations just to prove him wrong. Her decisions have nothing to do with him, Carly hisses. "Bull," Jack shoots back, recalling warning her about both Sam and Carrie, only to be ignored. Sarcastically, Carly suggests his "warnings" come color-coded, so she knows the difference between "potential psychopath" and and "people who resent being grilled by ex-FBI agents/detectives". Clenching his jaw, Jack mutters Carrie is no longer his concern. Now that she's found another mark. "Great," Carly mocks. Now she can add gullible and stupid to her list of faults. Carly pushes past him, throws the door open, and tells him to get the hell out. Jack stalks away, ignoring the loud slam of the door behind him.

Indulging in the satisfaction of the moment, Carly looks up to find Gwen staring at her sadly. Embarrassed, Carly apologizes, knowing the last thing Gwen needed to hear was more arguing. Gwen waves it off, telling her it's owed to Sage, who's upstairs miserable. Carly starts upstairs to comfort her daughter, but Gwen blocks her path. She may not to hear this, but Gwen's going to say it anyway. Jack's right---Carly is being spiteful. He loves her---she loves him. Jack's been completely upfront, voicing his concern over issues, but listening to her and including her in anything he does. From where Gwen stands after being repeatedly lied to by her husband, Carly should be on top of the world. Joyfully spending time with the man she loves and their happy children. Instead, Carly's throwing away everything she's ever wanted, for the glory of being "right" about a girl she barely knows. Gwen thinks it's tragic that her sister has become so bitter right in front of her eyes. Speechless, Carly's heart sinks like a stone as Gwen walks away.
